The U S Supreme Court issued opinions on insular relations including Porto Rico duties and Philippine imports. Key decisions were the De Lima and Downes cases, with Downes described as far reaching. Justice Brown led the majority with notable dissents from Gray Shiras White and McKenna.
Justice Brown delivers the court’s view in Downes v Bidwell, holding Porto Rico a U S territory not part of the United States for revenue purposes. The Foraker Act stands constitutional taxing imports from Porto Rico, while its status as foreign or domestic remains unsettled for duties.
The U S Supreme Court upholds that Porto Rico remains domestic territory not a foreign country for tariff duties. The ruling reverses lower court findings on duties levied after Spain ceded Porto Rico in 1898 and discusses precedents on acquired territories. Justice Brown writes for a court noting the Foraker act distinction between foreign country and Porto Rico.
